A fascinating exploration of symbiosis at the microscopic level and its radical extension of Darwinism
Microbes have long been considered dangerous and disgusting-in short, "scum." But by forming mutually beneficial relationships with nearly every creature, be it alga with animals or zooplankton with zebrafish, microbes have in fact been innovative players in the evolutionary process. Now biologist and award-winning science writer Tom Wakeford shows us this extraordinary process at work. He takes us to such far-flung locales as underwater volcanoes, African termite mounds, the belly of a cow and even the gaps between our teeth, and there introduces us to a microscopic world at turns bizarre, seductive, and frightening, but ever responsible for advancing life in our macroscopic world. In doing so he also justifies the courage and vision of a series of scientists-from a young Beatrix Potter to Lynn Margulis-who were persecuted for believing evolution is as much a matter of interdependence and cooperation as it is great too-little-told tales of evolutionary science..

Billed by many as "the black Rush Limbaugh," author Ken Hamblin is the host of a daily talk show based in Denver. He tells of being raised on welfare in Brooklyn, surviving segregation in the South as an army soldier and eventually becoming a popular radio figure. These experiences, often told with conviction and humor, provide a constant backdrop to impassioned broadsides against welfare, racism, drugs, gangsta rap and establishment liberals. If a few more people come to know this man, Rush Limbaugh may soon be known as "the white Ken Hamblin.".

From the supplier: Nearly 150,000 native Okinawan civilians perished in the 1944 U.S. siege against Japan. The huge U.S. military presence in Okinawa since then represents a shameful continuation of U.S. and Japanese domination.
